Impact
The vulnerability exists in the geminithinking component of bartekke8it56w2 new-mcp 0.1.0 and allows local attackers to manipulate the sessionPath argument used by the fs.readFileSync function in index.ts. This manipulation results in path traversal, enabling the attacker to read arbitrary files the process can access. The weakness is classified as CWE‑22 and does not grant remote code execution but can expose sensitive data stored locally.
Affected Systems
bartekke8it56w2 new-mcp version 0.1.0 is affected. No other versions are listed in the current data.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 4.8 indicates moderate complexity and impact. EPSS data is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, implying no publicly known exploits. Since the attack requires local access, risk is limited to environments where the application runs with elevated privileges or where the local user has legitimate access rights. An attacker could read configuration files, credentials, or other sensitive data present on the host by providing a crafted sessionPath value.
